welcome back to tech yes City this is the dark coming back to you guys today with a review of the Fidelio X ones by Philips now these are a flagship headphone by Philips it's their best headphone they're basically an indoor open-back headphones we'll talk about the benefits of that later in the sound signature but first of all let's get on with the unboxing and we'll basically the build quality of these headphones as soon as you get this product shipped to you you'll notice that it's heavy it comes boxed extremely well and in a way it reminded me of Phil add my MSI Lightning that I got it's basically just you know the attention to detail that Philips has paid to this product is huge it's really good and you can tell that this is a premium product as soon as you get the box I mean it comes packaged really well I don't see this thing getting damaged in shipping now as soon as you pick the headphones up you'll notice that the build quality of the and the design of these headphones is just top-class this is the best feeling headphone I've ever felt like it just feels like an absolute premium product you know you pick it up this steel there's steel on the outer cups here there's the mesh is really thick and solid these things feel like they could take it pounding they're really strong you've got a metal band here with a nice hard leather cup here that says Fidelio X once you've also got an inner band here which sits on your head and that lets you make it more comfortable for the headphones to sit on your head so definitely for build quality Philips get a 10 out of 10 this is a really premium it feels like a premium product and now I managed I was lucky I'll managed to get these for a hundred and fifty dollars on an Amazon deal of the day special I actually managed to get three of these you know I can resell them in Japan make a bit of pocket money but you can pick these up for around two hundred twenty dollars on sale and for that price really they do it's a recommended buy at that price but we'll get on to recommendations later let's talk about the comfort of these headphones which is where I believe the first there's only two little minute- points that I'll make about these headphones and the first comes with comfort basically the actual feel of the headphone when I put the on my head like this they feel phenomenal these headphones feel great they fit they lock in really well but the problem is is that they're just a little bit too heavy now this is not gonna be a problem for most people who are in the casual users or they're listening for one or two hours at a time but for a hardcore gamer you know playing for four hours or five six hours whatever 10 hours if you're a huge gamer these will get a little bit heavy on your head over time now I did manage the way these on the scale and they basically weighed about 365 grams just the headphones themselves so they're a little bit heavy you know me personally when I've used I've been using these for a little I think a month now a little over a month and yeah you know my next thought my neck gets a little bit sore I live not sore but a little bit tired after real long sessions on these headphones so the comfort is it's it's really good but just I think it's a little bit heavy but at the same time that heaviness makes it gives it a 10 out of 10 for the build quality so it's kind of like a little bit of a double-edged sword there so honestly I'm gonna give these eight out of 10 for comfort I just think the real long-term gaming sessions they're just a little bit heavy on the ears that's all so I'll give them an 8 out of 10 let's move on now to the most important thing the sound signature the sound quality when I tried these headphones on you know what basically essentially what makes a premium headphone a premium headphone and in my opinion there's two things detail and clarity or a soundstage sorry soundstage and clarity these definitely have both they're an open-back headphones so their soundstage is going to be huge they're basically you know the baby they've got the biggest soundstage of a valid from a headphone it's really you can you know if you if the sound is really has a lot of depth to it then you can definitely position you know where things are especially in video games now the clarity of this you can hear all the instruments you can you know if you're playing rock or whatever you can hear every single instrument being separated it's a really good experience it really does live up to a premium product headphone so but let's talk about the second little negative point of these headphones now the sound signature is unique if you go check out the frequency curve on headphone a or something like that you can see that they're a bass-heavy headphone now basically I'm gonna say first of all if you're an electronic dance music lover then you are absolutely gonna love these headphones these are the best set of headphones I've ever heard for electronic dance music for instance deadmau5 that stuff just comes alive I mean wow when I heard deadmau5 through these headphones I was like damn I was like I was listening to a new version of deadmau5 even though it was the same music listening to some dubstep I mean I don't usually listen to dubstep but hell I was even enjoying dubstep on these things they're phenomenal for electronic dance music I think the sound signature is specifically suited for that genre let's talk about when you playing games when you're playing games it's not the best I think this best sound for games I mean honestly I think for gaming you want a headphone with a bump in the mids these have a bump in the base but at the same time that bass gives it that immersive feeling so if you're if you're listening if you're playing games and you're shooting guns for instance I was playing for the campaign of Call of Duty ghosts and when I was firing a gun in the water that bass just really boom boom boom boom boom it came through on these headphones it sounded really immersive it was really good so if you want to get immersed in your games maybe a bit of fun then these definitely have that with the bass they bring the bass into the mids and it just sounds really good so for gaming I can recommend it it's probably the best for positional as the bass tends to be a bit exaggerated compared to the mids and when you you know if you're playing FPS you're gonna want mids because that's where the footsteps all the voices you know the gunfire is basically in the mid range so just just keep that in mind so for gaming I'm gonna recommend them this they're more of a fun gaming headset but the soundstage is definitely there let's talk about their weakness and that is rock and metal now I'm a big lover of rock and metal it's my top priority when I'm listening to music Rock a metal take priority over everything else that's just me you know 80s rock I love it you know recently I was auditioning these with rock and they just don't match rock in my opinion they're not a rockers headphone the sound signature isn't suited for rock or metal that's just my opinion some people may have a different opinion but I just don't think these are a raucous headphone so that's their weakness I think that two weaknesses are that they for long extended gaming sessions they can get a little heavy on the head I mean if you're a really big guy you're probably not going to notice but if you're elected was I guess an average guy like me average size average weight these will get a little bit heavy on your head also the second negative thing about them is they're not that good for rock and metal that's just my opinion but definitely they're premium headphone they sound phenomenal for pretty much everything else you know people say that the jack-of-all-trades and that's not the case they're a premium headphone with exceptional clarity exceptional soundstage and their own unique sound signature which I believe is suited for electronic dance music above all else you know I was listening to Eiffel 65 as well too much of heaven and that sounded phenomenal as well so I guess what pop as well they sound pretty good I don't know but they're yes I hope you enjoyed the review of the Fidelio X ones and I've certainly enjoyed listening to them I'll be coming back to you guys with my ghetto Heiser's or my ghetto hands whichever name you think that deserves to be called I will call them that and I last thing I forgot forgot to mention about these headphones too is they've got a detachable 3.5 millimeter jack and now essentially you can get a V motor boom mic Pro like this so sorry this is the left this is the right you can get a V motive boom mic Pro and you can plug it in and you have a gaming headset now so that's what I really like about the V mode of boom Pro is that you plug it into pretty much any audiophile headphone and make it a gaming headset that has the detachable cable so it's really cool and that's a nice solid Jack you know I don't see that breaking anytime soon also a negative and a negative is also the ear pads aren't replaceable but they do feel like they're really they're made you know really high-quality so I don't you know I see these things lasting a long time however if you kind of wear them out over time then maybe you might want to look at getting some replacements somehow I mean yeah that is a negative I guess and also the cable some one thing I forgot to mention about these headphones which is crucial is they come with a really long cable and even though it feels really good like the call the quality of the cable feels really that's braided it's got a really nice look to it's got Fidelio on it it just makes the headphones sound like crap basically they got I think they've got resistance of 1 point 5 ohms or something and honestly yet it made the music sound terrible and then I changed the cable just to a cheap Logitech auxiliary cable and the music sounded really good so if you're gonna get these headphones pretty much just get the headphones get yourself v mode of boom Pro if you're a gamer or change the cable make sure you change the cable and they'll sound that basically open up and they'll sound really good hey guys I hope you enjoyed the review of the Dehlia x ones they get highly recommended from me just know that they do have two weaknesses that I did mention if you're a gamer I mean sorry if you're a rock head or you're a gamer a hardcore gamer and that's about it guys I've rambled on enough about the Fidelio X once I will catch you guys soon with another video peace out for now bye
